Local first responders to begin filming for popular TV show this week

BATON ROUGE- Local emergency medical service personnel will be featured in a hit television show focused on the high-pressure situations first responders find themselves in on a daily basis.

The 12 East Baton Rouge medics will be featured on A&E's 'Nightwatch'. Filming beings June 7th and will last 10 weeks. In March of this year, the company 44 Blue Products received approval to cast area medics for the show.
